Wildlife advice

The Starlight Trust is an animal welfare and rescue organisation based in Surrey

Sarah worked in wildlife rescue full time for six years as the Animal Care Manager in a large wildlife hospital and has maintained a strong interest in wildlife care ever since, volunteering for other rescues and caring for the occasional wildlife casualty at home. Frustrated by some of the misinformation and myth around on the internet and frequently approached for advice, Sarah decided to set up a website advising the public on when to help wildlife and providing a directory of wildlife rescues in the UK. Since then the site has grown to list over 400 wildlife rescuers and to receive thousands of visits a month during the busy summer period. The site is also used by organisations such as the RSPB and St Tiggywinkles to assist callers to their helplines.
